HULSEY TO RECALL MASTERS DEGREES

January 5, 2010

If you received your master’s degree or any black belt degrees from Bill Hulsey from 1985 to present day and want to find out if your degree has been recalled, then do read on. 

I am not going to mention any names here.  I am already far to embarrassed for you guys to further humiliate you with the mention of your names.  You know who you are.  Everyone at my school knows who you are.  If you fit into the category or have ever done any of the following then I am talking about you.   I just wish there was a way I could give you your money back in exchange for the wisdom I have given you. Unfortunately there isn’t, so instead I am recalling your master’s degree.

I have been president of the  infamous “black sheep squadron” ever since I left Frank Woolsey’s to begin my training with the late grandmaster Jimmy H. Woo, back in 1975.    My students and I have listened to crap from green belts to studio owners ever since.  Maybe you guys don’t like the fact that I came from Franks Woolsey’s first before beginning my training with Jimmy.  Actually, I can almost  understand bad mouthing  coming from those of you in business but you Judas masters I don’t train any more, you need to keep your mouths shut.    How soon you forget. 

If you let it be known that you left my school so your new teacher could take you to the next level, then what you are really saying is that you never reached the level of master in the first place. Real masters have all ready reached what you call the next level.    A real master is one who no longer needs the aid of an instructor.  So, if this shoe fits your foot, then take off the master’s degree I gave you and get recertified from your new instructor.  You can also rip up the certificate I gave you, because for you and me it no longer has any meaning.

There are also those who came to me with the sob story of not being able to afford the training offered at my school.  When I made arrangements to allow them to study for free, what did they do?   They went out and actually paid another instructor full price while continuing to study with me as well.   I gave you first class training that could save your life for over 12 years and you put a con on me like that. What a disappointment you are.  

Later on, you had the audacity to come back into my school for another free workout.  You actually tried to convince some of my loyal students to quit my school and go to another school.  That is the most despicable thing any of my students has ever had done to me in my 35 years of teaching.  Is there anything more disrespectful than that?   Do you hate me so much, that you try to take food off my families table, or take away my daughter’s college tuition?  What were you thinking? I ask you, would you like me to go down to your work and try to convince you boss to reduce your salary by a few hundred dollars?  I don’t think so.   You think I am pissed off at you, you damn right I am. By your actions, you have disgraced yourself and dishonored me and my family.  I am recalling your master’s degree because you simply don’t deserve my signature on your certificate.  Go get recertified and trash the belt and certificate I gave you because in my eyes trash is exactly what they are. 

I am so glad to know you are now learning how to determine who could win in a real fight without ever having seen either opponent actually fight.  I guess I missed that class.  I really don’t care about your opinion or that you told one of my loyal masters that your new teacher could rip me apart!  That doesn’t hurt my feelings one bit.  Maybe he could, I don’t know, but then again, neither do you. All I can do is my best.  That is all any of us can do. I do know this though and it is guaranteed, that if anyone is unlucky enough to run into one of my flush punches, they would need a plastic surgeon to put their face back together.   All the masters I have trained have this ability.  If you don’t feel this about yourself, then don’t wear the belt I gave you and go get recertified

 I think that what you don’t understand is that when you say bad things about me, you are also talking about yourself as well.  If you learned anything at all from me, you should not be talking trash.    I have told you over and over to never under estimate your opponent.  You must treat all adversaries as your potential equal.  All masters know that this is a fundamental lesson in our art.  If you don’t believe this, then go get recertified. You are not one of my masters.

You cannot ever change the san soo DNA you have. It came from me.  I got it from Frank Woolsey and then Jimmy Woo and in that order. Sorry about that!  I do have a question for you though and do give this some real thought before you answer.  If someone came up to you and tried to break your jaw, what would you do?  Would you use the san soo you learned from me or the lessons you are learning now?  If your answer is the lessons you are learning now,  that is ok  because your new teacher is a master with great wisdom and abilities, but take off the master’s belt I gave you and get recertified from him.                                            

Know this.  I don’t care if one of my students leaves my school and seeks out another teacher.  It happens to all teachers regardless of how good they are. I left my first teacher to study with Jimmy Woo.  Just leave with dignity.  There are a handful of those who chose to leave without honor and without dignity.  For you guys, I do apologize.  I have failed you.  I failed to teach you the most important part of the art.  I do believe I taught each and every one of you how to defend yourself in the absolute worst of situations but I failed you in the building of your human character and integrity.  What do we really have in this world?  We have our character and that is what history will judge each and every one of us on.  For those few of you who are ungrateful for what I have given you, I have but one last lesson to give to you and this one is also free.  Your degrees have been recalled.  GO GET RECERTIFIED.

BECOME THE BELT

BECOME THE BELT

I will never forget the day I got my black belt from Frank Woolsey.  It wasn’t a normal day at all.  After all, this was the day I was to take my test to see just how much I had actually learned.   I was pretty nervous.  Sometimes, when Frank came up and asked me to show him even just one lesson, my mind would go completely blank.  Now I was going to have to show him everything I had learned up to now.    I got through the test just fine, even though it had taken three days and one injury.   I was pretty proud of myself.  When Frank shook my hand and congratulated me on passing the test, I felt great.  He handed me my black belt and walked away.

It hadn’t hit me yet that I was actually a fully fledged black belt in a true combat art, but I did know I was extremely proud of my accomplishment.   I was busy shaking hands with all my fellow students and then one of them said, “Hey, aren’t you going to put your new belt on?”  “Damn right I am” I said as I strolled into the locker room to put the old belt away.

I strapped on that stiff new belt, and to me it was like wearing the Congressional Medal of Honor.   As I headed toward the door I thought to myself, “now that I’ve got this thing on, I’ve got to look like a black belt.” So I stuck my chest out as far as I could get it, positioned my hips a little forward and walked onto that floor a different person, with a different attitude.

During my workout I realize just how much better I had become in just a matter of a few minutes.  I had indeed become the belt. 

I will never forget promoting one of my students to black belt many years ago.  He took his test and passed.  I congratulated him and gave him a black belt and walked away,   just like my teacher had done.  A few minutes later, I was on the floor giving out lessons and I noticed he was wearing his black belt on his shoulder and was not working out.  In fact he was leaving.  I thought this was kind of funny but didn’t give it much thought until later. 

He said, “see you all later” and walked out the door.  How strange it is that I never saw him again.  He was awarded his black belt and quit the school in the very same night.   I guess he had realized his goal of getting a black belt.  Unfortunately, he never became the belt.  He didn’t strap it on and push his chest out and he never knew what it was like to wear the black belt.  He never felt what it was like to knock someone down wearing that coveted black belt with the just gained confidence.  He never became the belt.

I can remember another guy who was just an all right brown belt but had stopped progressing for quite some time.  It took me a while to figure it out.  But, I finally did.  He had reached his full potential as a brown belt.  He wasn’t going to get any better.  I approached him and told him I wanted to test him for his black belt.  He reluctantly agreed and one week later I promoted him to black belt. 

He put it on right there and I assigned him a workout partner.  You wouldn’t believe what I saw.  His work out had improved a hundred percent.  I could hardly believe my eyes.  He had power.  He had speed and accuracy.  He looked great.  He had become the belt.  This black belt was his license to become good.  The transformation was immediate and permanent. 

 

When you get promoted, be proud of it.  Wear it with the confidence it deserves.  Become the belt.

Peaks and Plateaus – Master Bill Hulsey

August 20, 2009

When you begin your training in Kung Fu San Soo, it is not hard to stay focused. With the excitement of learning the ancient lessons and the sudden realization of actually finding yourself on the road to success, learning becomes fun and easy. When you are in the process, each new day seems to be moving you upward and towards a path I call a “Peak”.

When you being nearing the top of a particular peak, and there are many, you have most likely achieved the skills or nearly achieved the skills that this level has to offer. It is at this time that some students experience a strange phenomemon. I call this level a “plateau”.

Symptoms of a plateau are self-doubt, a sudden lack of confidence and a general loss of interest. It is as though you begin to feel that you aren’t learning anything. Some students begin feeling like they are no good and feel like they will never get any better. Others may even have nightmares of moving in slow motion during a combat situation, or throwing punches that won’t hit or hurt theoir opponent. If you have experienced any of these things you probably were, or are on a plateau.

Plateaus can be quite frustrating and persistent. They have shattered many a dream of becoming an accomplished black belt. They are a major cause of failure.

Overcoming a plateau is actually quite easy. One simply needs to be aware of their existence, to acknowledge its existence, and most of all you must continue to study. Your plateau won’t last long. Soon you find yourself on another journey, climbing a new peak, with your confidence and excitement returning. Eventually, the plateaus will disappear forever, usually around black belt level.

If you ever find yourself doubting your abilities or experience a sudden loss of confidence or think you just aren’t learning anything of value, you are probably on a plateau. Just remember that the plateau you are on now is on a much higher level of learning than the previous one. You are better now than you were before. Don’t let a plateau get the better of you. Don’t let on get in the way of your dream of black belt excellence. Plateaus are your test. Peaks are your rewards. Keep faith in yourself and in your abilities. Keep on training and learning. You will be a black belt very soon.

Building the Complete Fighter- Master Bill Hulsey

Building the Complete Fighter- Master Bill Hulsey

Many people do not know this but Jimmy Woo and Frank Woolsey established a working business partnership back in the early 60’s. Jimmy ran the established studio in El Monte, Ca. and Frank opened a new studio in Downey, Ca. The training that Jimmy Woo sanctioned and Frank Woolsey taught in the Downey school was how I began my training. I was there for six years before I transferred to Jimmy’s school in El Monte.

Training in the Woolsey school was not haphazard. Lessons were not just randomly handed out. There were lesson plans laid out by Jimmy Woo and taught by Frank Woolsey. The lessons were taught in categories. Each lesson in each category had a name and number assigned to it. The names of the categories are Ah-Soo, Fut-Ga, Choy-Li-Ho, Top-ga and Numpi. Learning one of these lessons gave you the skills and coordination you needed to learn another lesson further down the line.

Life in the old Woolsey school was rough to say the least. Pain was an everyday experience and injury was always just another punch away. Discipline was never a problem. If you didn’t have any, you would be beaten until you either got some or quit. I was there for one reason and one reason only; I wanted to learn how to fight like the devil himself, and I wasn’t going to let a little pain stop me.

AH-SOO
Each new student, including myself started on number one Ah-Soo. Ah-Soo, roughly translated means “fighting hands”. These lessons coordinate the hands, builds power and begins the “focus of the Chi”. Simply put, Ah-Soo gives a man a great ability to punch with single action or multiple combinations of punches. Powerful blocks and stances are also secured. After practicing these lessons for between six months to a year, a student will become very powerful and can accurately and decisively hit an aggressive moving target. Your hands are now coordinated and it’s time to begin Fut-Ga training.

FUT-GA
Fut-Ga, roughly translated means “the way of the monk”. The function of these lessons was to effectively coordinate your hands to work with your feet. Fut-Ga, unlike the defensive Ah-Soo lessons, are offensive and require you to approach your opponent from any one of eight different angles. Completion of the Fut-Ga lessons will have doubled your effective power and the body extremities are now coordinated enough to work as a single unit. Launching multiple attacks, utilizing punches and kicks at the same time, is now not only possible but very feasible.

CHOY-LI-HO
Choy-Li-Ho (the three families of San Soo), utilizes single action punches and kicks but is very strong in leverage, pressure points, joint locks, throws, flips, hyper extension of nerves, muscles, ligaments and tendons, as well as many varieties of bone breaking, including arms, legs, back and neck. Power is not a concern here as leverage in paramount in this training. When you put the Choy-Li-Ho training together with the Ah-Soo and the Fut-Ga training you are now beginning to build a complete fighter. However, there are still some important elements missing.

TOP-GA (Dap-Ga)
Even though you have learned three categories of lessons, each on their own extremely outstanding and effective, you still need something to bring them all together. Learning to throw a punch and a kick or set a leverage is useless to a student of any Art unless he is taught how to use it in a combat situation.

This is where Top-Ga comes in. Top-Ga combines all the skills and movements you have previously learned and puts them all into one. These lessons are spectacular to watch when executed correctly by a professional. They are incredible and beautiful. They are powerful and fancy, but they come right to the point. They will hurt you really bad. Words can’t describe these lessons. They must be seen and felt to fully understand their worth.

NUMPI (continuos circular attacking methods)
What can I say? Numpi is why you are studying the Art. Don’t leave home without it. Numpi lessons are the finest hand to hand combat lessons ever devised by man. Don’t let anyone or any article, book or journal tell you any different. These lessons add the elements you need to make you a great fighter. Numpi offers phenomenal powerful punching combinations that are second to none on the street or in the studio. Numpi cuts in at angles, uses your opponents power against himself, utilizes economy of motion and makes whatever aggressive movement your opponent tries to use against you incorrect. Against Numpi, it doesn’t matter what your opponent does, it is wrong. Numpi is taught to be both offensive and defensive, but best of all, Numpi will work for you.

The Power of the Eyes – Master Bill Hulsey

In San Soo, it is possible to win a fight without ever throwing a punch at your opponent. It’s the Chi power in your eyes. We all have it to some extent. In some, it is strong, in others it is not. It is something you cannot fake. You either have it or you don’t.

Have you ever had the feeling that someone was staring at you? When you turn to look around, you find yourself looking straight into another person’s eye. I think we have all experienced this phenomenon. This in not a coincidence. What are the odds of this randomly happening? The power of some person’s eye has guided your eyes directly to theirs.

Let me tell you a story. I had recently transferred to Jimmy Woo’s San Soo school in El Monte from the Kung-Fu San Soo school in Downey and was finding it particularly hard to fit in. Since the teacher in the Downey school was considered basically a traitor, not only to Grandmaster, but to the Art itself, I wasn’t looked on with much favor. I was working out with a friend of mine one Saturday, and I just couldn’t stand it anymore. I was going to show the rest of the guys just what I could do. When I thought Grandmaster wasn’t looking I cut loose with my best punching combinations. Little did I know at the time, but Grandmaster saw everything that went on in his studio. That’s when the feeling came over me. Someone was staring at me. When I looked over, sure enough, it was he. Grandmaster, with one swift wave of his hand, told me to report to him immediately. What to follow was almost undescribable. When I got to where he was standing, I looked into his face. This was not the face I was used to seeing. His face had turned from the gentle teacher I had known to that of a dragon. His cheeks were budging out and his whole face seemed to swell. I had never seen him so upset. When I looked into his eyes, I felt a force so strong, so Animal like, it literally forced my chin to my chest. I couldn’t believe it. Not wanting to appear weak in the presence of my Master, I looked up again, and again my head was forced to look downward. The power in his eyes was so strong, so powerful, I couldn’t even look at him. All he said to me was, “don’t you ever show off in my studio like that again.” That’s all he had to say. He knew it, and I knew it. He had overcome me with just his eyes. Later that night, reflecting on what had just happened to me, I thought to myself, how could you ever hope to throw a punch at a person like that? A person you can’t even look at. The answer is self evident. You can’t.

The power in your eyes is one of your greatest assets, if it is real. If it is not, it will give you away every time. You can use this power to overcome an opponent, just like I was overcome. You can tell an opponent with your eyes, “I am not the person you want to fight with.” It has worked for me one several occasions. If you train youself in the Art of San Soo, it will work for you also. Late one night, I pulled into the parking lot where a retail store was located. As I exited from my car, I immediately noticed a man walking straight towards me. I could tell this was not going to be a pleasant situation just from the way this guy looked. He was a large, somewhat dirty man. He had a face that looked like he would just as soon cut my throat as talk to me. He walked right up and the first thing out of his mouth was “Hey man, give me some money.” I wasn’t overly excited about forking out some of my hard earned cash, so I told him “I never give any money to strangers.” I could see this guy was down on his luck, maybe even homeless. I didn’t like his attitude, but I didn’t particularly want to put him in the hospital either. He took another step forward and said to me “I said, give me some money.” Since he had now entered my power zone, I automatically went into combat mode. As we starred at each other, he immediately realized he was talking to the wrong person, at the wrong place, at the wrong time. It was the power in my eyes. He backed off murmuring to himself about something, but I knew I had won the fight, even though no punches were ever thrown.

Kung-Fu San Soo: Pure and Simple – Master Bill Hulsey

Called “one of the world’s best-protected” martial arts secrets, kung-fu san soo believes the best defense is a good offense.

Kung-Fu San Soo, an ancient Chinese art of self defense, has been shrouded in “veil of secrecy” for more than 4000 years, making it one of the oldest, yet least known and least understood martial arts in the world today. In fact, it is probably one of the world’s best protected secrets. There’s a sort of unwritten “code of silence” that still surrounds the art, meaning that many of its practitioners simply believe the art should remain reasonably anonymous and as far from the public eye as possible. I, however, do not share this believe. I did not make this unpopular decision lightly and i believe it is now time to share this art with the rest of the world.
San Soo Connection

Grandmaster Jimmy H. Woo introduced the art of kung fu san soo to the United States approxamitely 30 years ago, and has since promoted only about 50 first generation American masters. I am the 33rd in the line of succession.

Kung-fu san soo cannot be literally translated into English because it is a concept, not a definable art. Generally speaking, san soo is practiced by a man who is articulate with his hands in a combat situation and can perform a variety of movements with them. In short it is the immediate neutralization of an oppenent at the instant he makes any aggressive movements towards you whatsoever. Kung-fu san soo is offensive in nature and possess both “internal” and “external” qualities. Since the study of just one of these qualities would be insufficient, most of the san soo schools teach both.
Kung Fu san soo is based on highly scientific principles of physics and leverage dealing with predictable responses and reactions of the human body. The techniques can be instantly changed to suit any situation and do not follow a set pattern.

The origin of this art is obscure and no one actually knows for sure the exact details of just how this scientific information was obtained. It it believed by many, however, that hundreds of thousands of Chinese prisoners of war and imprisoned slaves were tortured and put to death to obtain this information. The results of this so-called experimentation resulted in not only the basis for the san soo art but also for its counterpart, the art of Chinese acupuncture. San soo deals with the destruction of the human body; acupuncture with the healing of the human body. A true yin and yang relationship.

The Chinese discovered that whenever a target on the human body was struck, a predictable reaction would take place. This reaction would then expose various other targets that could also be struck, and their reactions would expose even more targets. The Chinese also discovered that not only would those reactions expose targerts, but in most cases they would also put the target in the most vunerable situation.

Acupuncturist Dr. Bruce Canning, a licensed doctor of Oriental medicine practicing in Westwood, Calif., states, “The kidney is the root of life. The heart is important to the flowering of the human spirit. There is an internal pathway that runs from the kidney up through the inside of the body and tranports chi into the heart. If you injure the root, the flower withers. If you cut off the root, the flower dies.” So it is with kung fu san soo. If you punch a man in the kidney, not only would it injure the organ, it will also expose the heart to attack and could cause an effect of interruption of the flow of chi to the heart. A second example works on an entirely different principle. If you were to hit a man under his nose, it would break his nose and knock his head straight back to expose his throat. Also, his throat would be stretched out to its fullest extent. This would make the throat extremely vulnerable to serious injury. These are just two examples of how the external puching combinations of kung fu san soo work. There are literally thousands more. It is no surprise why these techniques are said to be so effective and dangerous, and why so many people want them to remain a secret.

Let me clear up a great misconception about the monks and the invention of the kungu-fu art. Even though the monks of old were not the actual inventors of kung-fu san soo, they did play a significant role on its behalf. In the confines of their monasteries, the monks organized and perfected the art, making it among the finest combat arts in the world today. They found both the best ways to learn and teach the art. They were also the first to record its secrets. Realizing that a novice of the art could not fight on the same level as that of a master, the art was organized into four major fighting levels. These four levels of effectiveness, on their own, develop enough skill and coordination to help a student progress to the next level.
The first level is defense and offers only a basic understanding of real self-defense tactics. At this level, when an oppenent actually throws a punch, you block and then counterattack. Even though this type of self-defense will work, it is not considered to be overly effective in a real combat situation.

The second or intermediate level of effectiveness can be very effective in a street situation. In this instance, students are taught to block an attacker’s punch and to counterattack all in one motion. In other words, you are actually hitting your opponent at the same time you are actually blocking his punch. If you simultaneously block and punch, you not only are inflicting immediate injury, you are also rendering him incapable of throwing that follow-up blow.

The third and forth levels of kung-fu are advanced, and they completely eliminate the necessity of blocking. The third level simply avoids the opponent’s punch either through ducking or by moving out of the way and simultaneously striking the opponent. This is using your opponent’s power against himself. You literally let your opponent run right into your punch. This level utilizes attacking your opponent at angels and helps a person of smaller stature neutralize someone of much greater size and strength. The rule of thumb on attacking at angles is that if your opponent is deemed to be bigger and more powerful, it is not a good idea to attack from a frontal or head-on position. Why not let your attacker charge and commit himself, before veering to one side or another and attacking him at an angle from your new power zone.

The fourth and final level of effectiveness is among the most sophisticated forms of unarmed combat known to man. Its principle is simple: You attack your opponent at the very instant he initiates his attack. It sounds easier than it actually is, however. To hit your opponent while he is in the process of hitting you requires great skill and ability. First you must train to recognize exactly when your opponent is going to begin to throw his punch. Good fighters won’t tell you when the punch is coming, but many will telegraph their moves through body language. For example, if a man has a gun pointed at your chest, he will probably do three things before he pulls the trigger. First, he must decide to actually pull the trigger. Then he will anticipate the recoil of the weapon by squeezing down on the gun, shown by a tightening of the fist. Third, in anticipation of the bang or loud noise, he will probably squint his eyes. This is what I call the “point of no return.”

If he exhibits these signals, he will pull the trigger. In this case, you must react decisively and with great speed and accuracy or you will be shot. A lot of fighters will also give themselves away as they approach this “point of no return.” It is one of the goals of the fourth level to recognize this point, and to attack at that very instant. It is important to note here that masters of kung-fu san soo can throw punches without triggering the defense mechanisms of their opponents; therefore it is difficult to know just when they will initiate their punches. The most obvious signal of intent, of course, is when your opponent cocks his fist. Other signals include: turning the head to one side, scratching the nose with the thumb and forefinger, or rubbing the chest just before attacking.

The study of kung-fu san soo teaches us that whenever you find yourself in a combat situation, you put your life on the line. You never know what your opponent will do if he happens to knock you off your feet. The premise makes the psychology of this art easy to understand. You must never give your opponents a chance. We do not assume a fighting stance, nor do we warn our opponents before we strike. You do not let a man get man up. Period. You finish him because it is necessary and he has forced you to do so. We do not fight because we have been promoted to do so, only because it has become necessary. Winning is all that matters. If you lose, you may lose more than just the fight.

It has been said that kung-fu san soo has no beauty. Even though the techniques, when practiced under controlled studio circumstances, are beautiful to watch, there is nothing pleasing about kicking a man in the groin, poking your fingers into his eyes, or stomping on his throat.

Let us all remember that kung-fu san soo was created for one purpose and for one purpose only: combat. And we do not fight unless we have to. Each situation requires a set of individual responses. You do not kill a man who has stepped on your shoes, nor do you merely stun a man who is trying to kill you. You must use equal but adequate restraint. If a man tries to kick you in the groin, he should be kicked in the groin. If a man tried to break your arm, he should have his arm broken. We owe it to ourselves and others to defend ourselves with kung-fu. Maybe next time the other guy will think twice before making the same mistake.

Oldest san soo master in U.S. attends seminar

Well the  annual seminar for 2009 is over.  I am working now on getting out the written lessons that I taught to everyone who attended.   It will take a little time but I will email you all a copy.  If you dont think I have your email, please email it to me so you dont miss out.  If you missed the seminar this year, hopefully we can do it again next year.

We had some surprise visits from some old students.  My old friend and partner Stan Diendorf made an appearance with his kids.  It was very nice seeing him again.  Some old black belts also surprised us with a visit.  I think the most surprising of all though was Neil Savoy.  Neil signed up with me at the age of 60 years old.  He had to quit at age 74 because of a skin condition.  He was promoted  to Master of san soo a couple of years earlier.

My wife and I, on occasion, would talk about him and I have mentioned him to many of my students.  I had no idea he was still alive so it was quite a surprise to see him walk through my doors.  He is 95 years old now.  I believe he is the oldest san soo master alive today in the United States and probably in the world.  If any of you know of someone older please let me know.

It was great to see all of you who attended and I want to personally thank you for showing up.  Many of you traveled from out of state at great expense so special thanks to you all as well.  And to you Master Neil,  I hope to see you soon as well.

Been really busy

July 22, 2009

Since the seminar is coming right up in two weeks, I have been extremely busy making sure that everything is going to go smoothly.  I have received confirmations from students in many states.  I think this will be the biggest and best one ever. 

I have been working on getting the 15% discount up and running on the new shopping cart but it is difficult.  For members who would like to purchase products through the web site you need to become in the store by registering on the site.  Then you need to email me and let me know you have done it.  I can then go in and add your name so you can get the discount.  I know this is a bit of a hassle but i don’t know any other way to do it and i am open to suggestions from those of you in the know. 

For those of you who are not members and want to join and get the discount you must first join the association and then email me.  I can then add your name to the membership and you can get the discount as well.

 

Just typing all this in makes me realize how hard and rediculous this is, but like i said i don’t know of any other way to do it.   I do apologize for all this and hope you all understand.  Of course, if you want to avoid it you can just call me at my school and order anything you want with no hassle at all.  My number is 562 866-4904.

As soon as the seminar is over i will try to get back into some blogs and Vlogs.  If any of you have any questions or request just let me know and i will try to accomadate you.

Kung Fu Master Talks About David Carradine
